Beschreibung

In "Pike County Ballads and Other Poems," John Hay vividly captures the essence of rural American life through a series of lyrical narratives and poetic reflections. Using a blend of regional dialect and vivid imagery, Hay's work is marked by its authenticity and rich character portrayals. The collection draws on the social and political currents of the late 19th century, infusing the joys and sorrows of frontier existence with a keen sense of realism and nostalgia, while also showing Hay's mastery over rhyme and meter, which bring a musical quality to his verses. John Hay, an American statesman, diplomat, and poet, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a witness to the evolution of national identity during a time of profound change. His commitment to capturing the American spirit and the nuances of the common man shines through in this collection, shaped by his own Midwestern roots and his admiration for the pastoral beauty of Pike County. Hay's background as an associate of President Lincoln and his involvement in politics further enriched his understanding of the complexities of human experience. "Pike County Ballads and Other Poems" is a compelling read for anyone seeking to delve into the lyrical heart of Americana. Hay's intimate portrayal of life, friendships, and the struggles of society resonates with readers who appreciate both historical context and deep emotional undercurrents. This collection is not merely a reflection of his era but a timeless exploration of humanity, making it a worthy addition to any literary enthusiast's bookshelf.

    The Kingdom of Surfaces - Poems

    In The Kingdom of Surfaces, award-winning poet Sally Wen Mao examines art and history—especially the provenance of objects such as porcelain, silk, and pearls—to frame an important conversation on beauty, empire, commodification, and violence. In lyric poems and wide-ranging sequences, Mao interrogates gendered expressions such as the contemporary “leftover women,” which denotes unmarried women, and the historical “castle-toppler,” a term used to describe a concubine whose beauty ruins an emperor and his empire. These poems also explore the permeability of object and subject through the history of Chinese women in America, labor practices around the silk loom, and the ongoing violence against Asian people during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
     
    At its heart, The Kingdom of Surfaces imagines the poet wandering into a Western fantasy, which covets, imitates, and appropriates Chinese aesthetics via Chinamania and the nineteenth-century Aesthetic Movement, while perpetuating state violence upon actual lives. The title poem is a speculative recasting of Through the Looking-Glass, set in a surreal topsy-turvy version of the eponymous China-themed 2015 Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala. The Kingdom of Surfaces is a brilliantly conceived call for those who recognize the horrors of American exceptionalism to topple the empire that values capital over lives and power over liberation.
